Answer 8

The question is written poorly. About 100 amendments get proposed in Congress every year. Most never make it out of committee. They can be proposed in either the House or Senate.
If the States had to deal with all those proposals, it would be too unwieldy. The founders wanted to make it hard but not impossible to amend the Constitution. So they raised the amount of votes needed in Congress. For a law, a simple majority of both chambers is all it takes to send it to the President. For an Amendment, two thirds of each house has to agree to send it to the States.
Once an Amendment is sent to the States, three quarters of the States have to ratify in before in becomes effective.
33 Amendments have been sent to the States. 27 of those have been ratified by the enough States to become part of the Constitution.
